Everything is coming along. Next week is suspension work - front Konis, SS brake lines, idler arm rebuild.

Then whenever Kevin is ready for the Big Stuff -- I think he's getting close.

Hmmmm, my Jedi training reads this quote differently... Let me translate...

Cue Darth Vader Theme:
"Everything is going as planned. The Battle Star will soon be FULLY operational... And the Emperor has something special prepared for the Resistance that will soon put an end to this galactic uprising once and for all!
:twisted:

Sorry, it's on T.V. right now... :smt003

I saw Garm's Roadster bumpers at SuperCar Sunday and was very impressed. To me if you are not paying attention it looks like chrome, but then if you look closely, the stainless is only a half step behind chrome. That would be new chrome though. It outclasses degraded chrome. If you can keep the polish up then it seems that they would be the last bumpers you would ever need.IMHO
